CHARLESTON, S.C. – Delaware jumped out to an early lead and never looked back Friday evening as the Blue Hens topped the College of Charleston, 72-60, at TD Arena.
The Hens (13-12, 8-5 CAA) had four players record double-digit scoring efforts en route to their third straight win.
CofC (7-18, 3-11 CAA) cut Delaware's lead to five near the end of the third quarter, but senior Alison Lewis notched all 13 of her points in a 6:15 minute span to spark the Blue Hens to a 16-point advantage mid-way through the final stanza.
Junior Samone DeFreese led UD with 16 points and five rebounds while graduate student Makeda Nicholas and junior Rebecca Lawrence tallied 11 points apiece. Lawrence finished the game with a team-high seven rebounds while Nicholas grabbed six of her own.
